Are you referring to genre tags? If so, they're adding that feature in version 2.8.
There is also a Don't Stop The Music feature, however that relies on functionality from the underlying provider.
Not exactly referring to that but kinda. We like to add custom tags that we decide for each track and then build playlists from those tags. So a playlist might have a genre tag but also, for example, the tag "relaxing" so a playlist is made up of all songs with those tags (playlist of all songs tagged both with "classical" and "relaxing").
So do you have just a bunch of random boolean tags? The Genre tag can hold multiple values, so you could have "Classical;Relaxing;String Quartet;Suites" if you wanted and each is identified separately.
My wife does the tagging so I don't know the details. But it's ID3 tags and she sets a custom "mood" tag. So it might look something like this "genre: classical, instrumental" but another tag "mood: chill; quiet". Many players don't recognize this but it originally came from her using musicbee on windows. We do set multiple values in genre but she likes having the separate mood one as well. And we use rating which is another some player ignore. All of these she uses to build smart playlists.
Out of curiosity, what's the app that she's using?
I've been looking for a good tagger.
Musicbrainz for the basic stuff then quodlibet music player for the ratings and custom tags. If it's important, no idea if it has a windows or mac version, we only use linux.
Thx. I've tried the musicbrainz Picard app and I don't like it, I'll check quodlibet. I'm using beets at the moment but it's terminal based. All on Linux.
